Microsoft Is On A Charge In The SaaS Market

The enterprise SaaS market grew by almost 40% in 2015.

New data from Synergy Research Group shows that Microsoft is now challenging for leadership in the enterprise SaaS market. In 2015 Microsoft grew its market share by almost three percentage points but was still a little way behind long-time leader Salesforce. However, Microsoft continues to grow its SaaS revenues much more rapidly. The other top ten players in the market are Adobe, ADP, Google, IBM, Intuit, Oracle, SAP and Workday. Microsoft achieved the second highest 2015 revenue growth rate among the top ten SaaS companies. SAP, Adobe, IBM and Workday all achieved 2015 growth rates in excess of 50% and Oracle too is now surging ahead.

The enterprise SaaS market grew by almost 40% in 2015 and Synergy forecasts that it will more than triple in size over the next five years. The smaller consumer SaaS market is only a third the size of the enterprise market and also has a lower growth rate. While it is not the leader in consumer SaaS, it is notable that Microsoft's growth far outstrips that of other major consumer SaaS operators.

"In many ways SaaS is a more mature market than other cloud markets like IaaS or PaaS," said John Dinsdale, a chief analyst and research director at Synergy Research Group. "However, even for SaaS it is still early days in terms of market adoption. It is notable that the big three traditional software vendors — Microsoft, Oracle and IBM — are all now growing their SaaS revenues faster than the overall market and yet SaaS accounts for less than 8% of their total software revenues."

With the number of edge sites on the rise, it’s critical for you to know what’s going on in the network at any given moment. However, it’s likely there are sites you have never visited. So, if you don’t know exactly what a site looks like, what security measures are in place, or even where it is located, how can you have true visibility into the physical environment? The answer is by having good sensors in place.

One Wilshire building in Los Angeles, one of the most densely connected buildings in the world, houses 450,000 square feet of data center. Organizing the organic growth of disparate cooling equipment was a major concern for its owners, who were working with the engineering team and manufacturers to increase the cooling capacity. The goal was to achieve 4000 tons of scalable cooling, with a target of 50% free cooling.
Learn from the experts who completed this project in 2018 — about how they achieved the basis of design for One Wilshire tenants and exceeded the energy efficiency goals of the project by 25%, which is 62 times the amount required by Title 24 in California.
